krblokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Altria ( MO ) has spent decades since the surgeon general's first 1964 warning against smoking and its health impacts . Despite that, since then, the company has generated some of the highest shareholder returns in the market. As we’ll see throughout this article, the company’s continued focus on efficient operations will support continued returns. Altria Financials Altria had a strong year, despite a volatile smoking market, as demand for its products remained high. Altria Investor Presentation Altria saw $5.42/share in EPS for the year, with mid-single-digit YoY growth. That enabled the company to continue lofty shareholder returns through both a very reasonable dividend and repurchases. The company’s $8 billion in returns for the year is a number that it can comfortably afford, but still a very strong return level. Altria’s Changing Market At the same time, the smoking market declines that were once so substantial seem like they might not be so substantial anymore. Altria Investor Presentation Altria is expanding its smoke-free portfolio to reduce risk here. That includes new on! PLUS products along with Ploom and Marlboro heated tobacco sticks. Altria, which has substantial experience here with regulatory borders, advocates for a responsible and well-regulated marketplace here. Altria Investor Presentation The U.S. nicotine space has continued to see roughly 2% annual growth in estimated volumes since the start of COVID-19. That’s despite the decline of combustible tobacco as oral tobacco and e-vapor have expanded substantially. These alternative tobacco products now make up ~50% of the market. For e-vapor, the category has seen ~15% YoY growth with 1 billion in fresh volumes. Yet illicit products still represent ~70% of the category. That means a substantial opportunity for Altria as it continues to push less safe illicit products away from the marketplace. This is a strong opportunity for Altria, but it also needs a ...

格隆汇3月10日｜据澎湃，上海市新一年度个人住房房产税的应税房价分界线日前公布。根据上海市统计局公布的数据，2025年，全市新建住宅销售均价为46268元/平方米，据此计算2026年个人住房房产税税率适用临界点为92536元/平方米。这是自2018年以来，该临界点（即92536元/平方米的价格线）首次出现下行。 上海易居房地产研究院副院长严跃进指出，应税房价分界线是决定新购住房适用0.4%优惠税率还是0.6%标准税率的关键阈值，其计算方式为上年新建商品住宅均价的两倍。今年该数值的下降，直接反映了2025年上海新建商品住宅均价的走势变化。

2026年初，OpenClaw（俗称“小龙虾”）在GitHub上迅速走红，到3月成为GitHub历史上增长最快的开源项目之一。从极客玩家到普通用户，从程序员到退休老人，“养龙虾”几乎一夜之间刷遍了各大平台，甚至成了年轻人的一款“时尚单品”，争相尝鲜的新潮流。 说到Agent替人干活这件事儿，“代价”不小。Agent完成一个任务，背后是几十次连续的推理与决策，算力消耗可能是普通对话的数十倍。比如GPT-5.4回复一个“Hi”就需要80美元。Agent越普及，算力需求越大，电力消耗也随之急剧攀升。 一位资深AI研究员表示， token的消耗，将越来越深地嵌入经济运行的底层逻辑。未来绝大多数经济活动，都将以消耗token的形式完成 。而电力，正在成为这场AI竞争中越来越关键的变量。 一直以来，中国的电力成本在主要经济体中保持较强的竞争力，就连马斯克和黄仁勋都曾多次公开表示"中国或将因为能源电力优势赢得人工智能竞赛"。 不过，“电力优势”只是一个笼统的说法，这句话背后，是一套中国独有的能源电力格局，机遇与挑战并存。 图片由AI工具生成 01 AI算力狂奔，全球电力需求水涨船高 随着生成式AI的爆发，正以前所未有的速度吞噬全球算力资源。 中国信息通信研究院数据显示，截至2025年6月，全球计算设备算力总规模已达到4495 EFlops，同比增长约117%。其中，用于人工智能训练与推理的智能算力占比已从2024年的约70%提升至85%，成为算力增长的主要驱动力。 这种算力需求的快速增长，也正在直接转化为电力消耗。根据国际能源署（IEA）发布的《能源与人工智能》报告，2025年全球数据中心电力消耗约为415—650太瓦时（TWh），占全球总用电量的约1.5%—2%。其中，AI数据中心用电量占比已达到30%—40%，并仍在快速上升。 IEA指出， 美国、中国和欧洲是全球数据中心电力消耗最集中的地区，其中美国约占45%，中国约25% ，欧洲约15%。 “小龙虾”等Agent的广泛应用，正在让这种消耗进入一个新的量级。 以OpenClaw为例，每一个步骤都在消耗算力和不少真金白银，有海外用户表示，一个配置不当的自动化任务一天烧掉了200美元API费。 此外，即便在价格相对较低的模型上运行，Agent的持续调用也会带来不小的成本：一天运行Kimi的成本大约在5到10美元之间，月度Toke...

A pedicab drives past a traffic light that is out due to a power cut in Havana on March 4, 2026. Yamil Lage | Afp | Getty Images U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his threat of a " friendly takeover " of Cuba, saying the communist-run Caribbean island is in "deep trouble." His latest comments come less than a week after he suggested that his administration would turn its sights on Havana after U.S. military operations in Iran ended. The Trump administration has sought to ratchet up the pressure on Cuba since the Jan. 3 military operation to depose Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, a long-time ally of Cuba's government. The U.S. has effectively cut Havana off from Venezuelan oil, called its government "an unusual and extraordinary threat," and pledged to impose tariffs on any country that supplies it with oil. Speaking at a news conference in Doral, Florida, Trump said on Monday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was dealing with Cuba's leadership as the country grapples with a worsening economic crisis . "It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter because they are down to, as they say, fumes," Trump said. "They have no energy. They have no money. They are in deep trouble on a humanitarian basis and we don't want to see that," he added. Cuba's government has denied being in talks with the U.S. government, although it has previously confirmed " communications " between the two administrations. A spokesperson for Cuba's embassy in London did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. The U.S. president and his allies have since spoken publicly about the prospect of Cuba becoming the subject of another major foreign policy move.

BING-JHEN HONG/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Qualcomm ( QCOM ) was in the spotlight on Tuesday as Bank of America reinstated coverage on the stock with an Underperform rating, stating it only sees “lukewarm” growth ahead for the semiconductor company. “QCOM is a leader in smartphone processors but it’s a mature industry with downside risks from rising memory prices and QCOM’s well-known imminent ~$7-8bn loss of Apple business,” analyst Vivek Arya wrote in a note to clients. “QCOM has diversified into auto/IoT and plans to enter AI data center, but benefits could be insufficient to offset mobile headwinds.” Arya has a $145 price target on Qualcomm. Aside from the concerns about the Apple ( AAPL ) business, Samsung ( SSNLF ) is also moving away from Qualcomm, reducing Galaxy share to 75% from 100%. Separately, Chinese handset maker Xiaomi has also upped its semiconductor R&D spending to $7B, which may be a negative for Qualcomm. The company is also likely to be hurt by rising dynamic random access memory costs for some time, as AI server builds have pressured the smartphone market, particularly in China. “Longer-term, QCOM faces intensifying competition across every end-market: MediaTek moving upmarket in handsets, NVDA/Mobileye in auto, and a crowded data center CPU market where we see QCOM’s opportunity at just 10-20% of ARM CPU share (~20% of $60bn TAM), i.e., just $1-2B sales or $0.20-$0.40 EPS,” Arya added.

部分中概股上市出现“拉高出货”式异常交易，美国散户高位接盘后，股价在短时间内暴跌逾九成，美国承销商被指助长了此类操纵行为 美国国会大楼。图：视觉中国 【财新网】 美国众议院“美中战略竞争特别委员会”3月9日称，该委员会的首席成员罗·卡纳（Ro Khanna，加州民主党）和主席约翰·穆勒纳尔（John Moolenaar，密歇根州共和党）已致函三家美国承销商，要求在3月13日前提供有关其承销中国公司在美国市场首次公开募股（IPO）的材料，并指控这些IPO通过市场操纵欺骗了美国投资者。 信函称，这类市场操纵模式主要表现为新股上市后被“拉高出货”（ramp-and-dump），导致美国散户高位接盘，而股价却随后在短时间内暴跌90%以上；美国金融中介机构助长了此类操纵行为。

2026年3月，中东的战火再次点燃了全球能源市场的焦虑。 伊朗封锁霍尔木兹海峡的消息一出，国际油价瞬间飙涨——布伦特原油开盘暴涨13%，突破每桶82美元。有分析师甚至放话：如果冲突持续，油价冲到120美元、150美元都不是梦。 霍尔木兹海峡，这个最窄处只有39公里的水道，承载着全球20%到30%的海运原油。 而中国，恰恰是这条通道最大的用户之一。 咱们国家的原油对外依赖度超过70%，其中从中东进口的原油占总进口量的45%以上。 有人可能会说，中国新能源、风光电不是很强吗？有必要慌吗？ 问题是：你风光电再香，储能技术再先进，有个场景仍然替代不了——这就是工业生产用的高温热。 中国的化工、钢铁、水泥、玻璃等重工业，大量使用天然气和重油作为高温热源，而不仅仅是发电——乙烯裂解需要 800°C+，工业蒸汽需要 300~600°C，煤化工气化需要高温催化。 风光电完全无法提供工业热——电能转热虽然理论可行，但效率极低且成本奇高。而高温气冷堆出口温度达571°C，直接匹配工业蒸汽和部分化工流程，这是其他任何可再生能源做不到的。 换句话说：天然气之外，核电站可能是唯一能顶上工业热缺口的替代方案。 ▲ 2025年1月，"华龙一号"漳州核电1号机组正式投入商运 然而，就在全球被中东战火搅得人心惶惶的时候，中国核电正在干一件大事——2025年，全球11台新开工的核电机组中，中国占了9台。截至2025年底，中国在运、在建和核准待建的核电机组共有112台，总装机容量1.26亿千瓦，连续第3年居全球首位。 而2026年，预计还将有新投运9台核电机组，总装机944万千瓦。 今天，我们就来聊聊中国的核电。 中国核电：不只是建得快，而是建得先进 说起中国核电，很多人第一反应是"基建狂魔"——中国人多力量大，造啥都快。 但这话只说对了一半。 先看数量：截至2025年底，美国以94台在运机组稳居全球第一，中国59台居第二。 但论"新"，美国根本不是对手——美国94台机组平均机龄已达43.7年，其中三分之二是1970至1990年代的"古董"；中国在运机组绝大多数是近15年建成的，平均机龄不足12年，且全部在建机组44台，同样稳居全球第一。 中国拥有的，不是最多的核电站，而是最新的核电站。 尤其是在四代堆、SMR这些新技术方向上，已经取得了代差性的领先优势。 先说四代堆。 2023年12月，山东石岛湾高温...

A Spirit Airlines Airbus A320 taxis at Los Angeles International Airport after arriving from Boston on September 1, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Kevin Carter | Getty Images News | Getty Images Spirit Airlines is calling back all furloughed pilots after higher-than-expected attrition has strained its operation, according to a company memo, which was reviewed by CNBC. The budget carrier said late last month that it plans to further cut its schedule and emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late spring or early summer. It was the airline's second bankruptcy filing in less than a year. Spirit Airlines furloughed hundreds of pilots in 2024 and 2025 to save millions of dollars and to match a smaller operation than the budget carrier used to operate. But pilots also chose to leave the airline, many for other carriers, leaving Spirit short on staffing. Read more Spirit Airlines plans to slash flights, fleet in bid to emerge from bankruptcy as early as spring Spirit plans to emerge from bankruptcy in late spring, early summer, as a smaller airline Spirit Airlines sells more planes, calls back 500 flight attendants from furlough ahead of spring break Spirit Airlines is on shakier ground after avoiding hard decisions in bankruptcy "Pilot attrition has been higher than forecast, making precise alignment between staffing and the reduced schedule more challenging," the airline told employees in a memo last week. "While these recalls won't arrive in time to support the spring break—Easter period, they strengthen the foundation of our post-bankruptcy future." Spirit confirmed that on Monday, it sent notices to about 500 pilots who were involuntarily furloughed between Sept. 1, 2024, and Nov. 1, 2025, to call them back to work as "we continue to make adjustments to meet the evolving needs of our business."

Brazil’s state-run oil company Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras PBR has reportedly refused requests from fuel distributors seeking additional diesel volumes, citing a widening price gap between domestic and global markets. According to industry sources, the company is currently supplying only the contractually agreed quantities to distributors and declining extra orders. The move comes as diesel sold domestically trades at a steep discount compared with imported fuel, creating a strong incentive for distributors to stockpile cheaper supplies. Petrobras is attempting to prevent speculative buying that could allow distributors to profit once domestic prices are adjusted. Domestic Prices Deeply Discounted The pricing imbalance has become increasingly pronounced. Industry data shows that diesel sold by Petrobras is currently about 85% cheaper than imported cargoes as global fuel prices surge amid geopolitical tensions, particularly the U.S.-Iran conflict in the Middle East. This disparity has disrupted normal fuel trading patterns in Brazil, discouraging imports and putting pressure on private refiners. Petrobras’ leadership has indicated it will not immediately pass short-term global price volatility on to domestic consumers while it evaluates broader oil price trends. Impact on Brazil’s Agricultural Sector The pricing gap is already affecting Brazil’s agricultural supply chain. Diesel is essential for farm operations, especially during harvest and planting seasons. Farmers harvesting a record soybean crop and preparing to plant corn are particularly vulnerable to fuel shortages or price spikes. A sudden adjustment in diesel prices could quickly increase operating costs for producers, making the fuel market a key concern for the country’s agricultural economy. Market Distortions and Supply Chain Pressure With Petrobras responsible for roughly 55% of Brazil’s diesel production, the company holds significant influence over domestic pricing and supply dynamics. The st...

ABM Industries (ABM) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.83 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.87 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.87 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -4.92%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this provider of cleaning and other maintenance services for commercial buildings, hospitals and airports would post earnings of $1.1 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.88, delivering a surprise of -20%. Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates. ABM Industries, which belongs to the Zacks Business - Services industry, posted revenues of $2.24 billion for the quarter ended January 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.27%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.11 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. ABM Industries shares have added about 2.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.7%. What's Next for ABM Industries?

In this article UBER Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Kseniya Ovchinnikova | Moment | Getty Images Warris Bokhari received an unexpected tax form in early February, just as the 2026 tax season was ramping up . Uber Technologies , the ride-hailing company, mailed him a Form 1099-K listing about $2,317 in gross income earned through dozens of transactions in November and December, according to a tax form reviewed by CNBC. But Bokhari, a 46-year-old Los Angeles resident, has never driven for Uber, nor been a courier, merchant or contractor for the company, he said. He spent weeks trying to track down answers. Uber ultimately confirmed to Bokhari that, after an investigation, it had "found signs of identity theft," according to a message from Uber support reviewed by CNBC. Someone else had used Bokhari's personal information to drive for Uber and earn income — and leave the real Bokhari, in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service, responsible for taxes on that "phantom income," he said. It's like "a terrible reverse lottery," said Bokhari, who is the CEO of health care technology firm Claimable. "Your identity can be used by someone else for their gains, and you're left with bills and debts that you try to undo." Employment identity theft on the rise Employment-related identity theft happens when someone uses your personal information, commonly a Social Security number, to get hired for jobs and earn income illegally. In many cases, the victim doesn't know their identity has been stolen until they receive tax forms from companies they didn't work for. This issue is a growing problem in the U.S. About 31,450 people reported employment or wage-related identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission through the first three quarters of 2025 — a 61% rise from the same time period in 2021, according to federal data. The FTC doesn't break out data between employment and wage-related identity scams . "Mysterious 1099s" aren't a new issue, but they have become "sl...

matejmo/iStock via Getty Images Market Overview The US equity market continued to press forward in the fourth quarter, with the S&P 500 Index posting a 2.66% return. The markets did not experience a late-quarter "Santa Claus" rally, but advanced on strong earnings and two additional US Fed rate cuts. However, not everything was perfect. The US faced the longest federal government shutdown in its history, and concerns about unemployment and low consumer sentiment were top of mind for many Americans. Looking at the S&P 500 Index's 2.66% gain from a style perspective, value beat growth for the quarter, in a notable shift.

The consumer staples sector (+0.0%) was up for the quarter by one basis point, while utilities (-1.4%) and real estate (-2.9%) finished in negative territory. The ICE BofA All US Convertible Index advanced 1.97% in the fourth quarter, capping off a strong 2025 calendar year (+17.98%). During the quarter, convertibles captured most of the equity market's upside, with the S&P 500 Index returning 2.66%. For the full year, convertibles outpaced the S&P 500's 17.88% return. The US high-yield bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, returned 1.31% in the fourth quarter.
